Septic Pumping Services You Can Trust
Regular septic pumping is essential for extending the life of your septic system and preventing expensive repairs or system failures.

Our pumping services are designed to restore proper functionality and ensure your septic system continues to run smoothly.
At K. Franck Enterprises, we use professional-grade equipment and industry-approved methods to remove waste safely and efficiently. Our team takes the time to inspect your septic tank and the tank components during the pumping process, giving you valuable insight into the health of your system.

Why Septic Pumping Is Essential
Septic pumping is more than a routine maintenance task. It is one of the most important steps in protecting your property, your plumbing, and your wallet. When a system is neglected, solids accumulate and eventually flow into the drain field, causing irreversible damage. Once a drain field fails, repairs can be costly and time-consuming. Proper and timely septic pumping helps prevent:
- System backups
- Foul odors around the property
- Slow drains and gurgling pipes
- Tank overflow or sewage leaks
- Lateral above-ground surfacing causing environmental hazard
- Costly major repairs or full replacements
The simple act of maintaining your septic tank can add years of life to your system, reduce the risk of emergencies, and maintain the health and operation of your lateral/drain field.
How Often Should You Pump Your Septic Tank?
The frequency of septic pumping varies depending on the size of your tank, the number of people using it, and the type of system installed. For most homes, pumping every 3 to 5 years is recommended. However, systems with higher usage or smaller tanks may require more frequent service.
Commercial properties, rental homes, and businesses often experience more wastewater usage and should consider a tailored maintenance schedule to ensure reliable performance.
At K. Franck Enterprises, our experienced technicians assess your system’s design, age, and condition to recommend a pumping schedule suited to your needs. Whether you have a conventional septic tank, spray discharge system, or Norweco unit, our team ensures your system receives the proper care to stay functional and compliant.
